Petition against Shaq's racist comments against asians

[Jzero]

I'm still waiting on an apology for Kazaam, which I consider to be universally insulting and not just insulting to Asians.

I have one chinese friend, and he got offended when the teacher in 4th grade said something like: "To me, that just sounds like Chinese." (it's a common expression if you don't understand ANYTHING here in Switzerland: when someone talks kinda unclear, or a professor in physics talk about molecular stuff, etc.)

A petition for an apology? No offense, yes Shaq is an idiot and his comments were tasteless, but get a life!

Sheesh, give him a break! standing up for what they believe in is one of the reasons why this country existed. Should you just sit idle and let things go by? No, if you truly believe in it, then take some action. Maybe Rosa Parks should've just sat in the back of the bus and let it pass. Then everything would've just been peachy.

I like how Shaq said he called him out twice in Chinese and once "in American". Good thing Shaq speaks American!

While we're at it, how about a petition against The Simpsons making fun of all the other nationalities?

He was just fighting back for the Italians for when the Japanese put, "Its a mea, Mario" on Mario64

It would be better if you read the petition before you spouted off about it else Shaq isn't the only idiot running their mouth...


First part called for an apology

second part called for an equal protection for all races in the NBA, it was addressed to David Stern.

Or maybe people should stop whining and bitching about every comment somebody makes. I swear, people will cry if you look at them wrong these days. Who cares what somebody you don't even know says?

Finally, a post I can wholeheartedly agree with!

time to chill.

 

[Ameesh]

done, i signed it long dong kong.

We, as a society, are foolish to care what any professional athlete thinks.

Even if Shaq does apology, it will be hollow.

 

[Jmman]

Because Shaq is rich, famous, a good basketball player, has a big schlong, whatever, how does that make him a role model? And what is the petition supposed to accomplish anyway? You have to respect Barkley and how he dealt with all of this role model crap....

 

[SP33Demon]

That'd be great if Yao stomped on Shaq's injured toe! What do you think would happen then? Would Yao be thrown out? He could then "apologize" for doing it and say that it was "an accident". See the trend here? Ignorance is bliss, why do u think rednecks who know nothing about Muslim culture hate ALL Muslims? Shaq should be careful what he says, there are ALOT of people in China, which means that another Yao could come out of there next year who could be 8-0...

1. Someone who plays basketball = Speaker of the House I see.

Unfortunately this is somewhat true, before all this Trent Lott business came about if you would've asked average joe on the street who Shaq was and they would immediately know who he was, if you would've asked the same guy who the Speaker of the House average joe would've either not know or take a while to recall this information.

2. Trent Lott story was fueled by media and Trent Lott's idiotic apologies, not black people. He asked to be on BET, they simply said yes.

Trent Lott + Idiotic Apolgies (at least he tried to apologize) = Media Orgy and has to resign. Shaq + Idiotic Apoligies (half-hearted) = Back Page News and gets away scott free. I was trying to say that there is an obvious double standard (for people who make the comments and people(s) whos those comments are directed towards). Like Jim Rome said, making fun of asians is fair game.

 

[DeafeningSilence]

What good is an insincere apology anyway???

 

[Zebo]

It's hypocracy not to call his ations racist...Signed.

"In addition to a sincere apology from Mr. O?Neal, we seek the NBA?s leadership and ask that it issue a statement denouncing race-based ?taunts? by all NBA personnel and to immediately initiate a diversity seminar for all of its employees."

I repeat, GET A LIFE.
